Insane Views! Blackpool to Barrow 4K

[@petenaylor1751]

The clarity of those photos/video is insane. I remember getting a few clear mornings towards Barrow & Ulverston back in 2007 with a Canon 1DMKIIN and 100-400L lens (i.e. a lowly 8MP plus 1.3x crop sensor) but never got anything as crystal clear as those. What focal length are you using for these? If that's with a teleconverter too then I'm blown away by the quality.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Pete. I used a Nikon D850 and a William Optics 80 ED APO for the long range video and photographs. The focal length with the 2x converter was 1100mm at f12.

[@petenaylor1751]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Thanks for the equipment info. First time I've seen that lens, and it's surprisingly affordable for such great quality.

[@martinmillar5629]

I'm from Barrow, and we get equally as excited when we can see Blackpool just as clearly, especially when the illuminations are on!🙂

[@Boilingfrogg]

I'm from Barrow also. 👍

[@annstanners6216]

I atay in doric hotel all the time. Love the views that can be seen on clear day. Thanks for the video. Missing blackpool loads ann Newcastle upon Tyne

[@frankinblackpool]

I thought you'd get a great shot of the big ship. Yesterday was indeed perfect for views. I could see Wales, Cumbria and, as you said, a tiny bit of the Isle of Mann. I chose the day taking what I thought would be breath taking images of the seascape, until I got home and discovered that the Dust Bunnies had taken up residence on my camera's sensor. Doh! The Bazooka/camera combo worked really well capturing Cumbria's largest cul-de-sac. 😁

[@paulinefraser4097]

you must have a fabulous camera because those views were absolutely gorgeous really beautiful and enjoyed seeing your video today 👍stay safe, Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁

[@ianwebster1143]

Incredible images Ste, your very lucky to have such perfect weather, it’s always hazy out at sea when I’m in Blackpool 😀

[@ABCDEF-yf4yu]

I would love to go up Blackpool Tower on a clear day, and get good views of the Lake District and Welsh mountains, the Isle of Man, Forest of Bowland hills, West Lancashire with Southport and Ormskirk and close to Liverpool, and buildings in Preston like St Walburges church spire. From Rivington moor near the television transmiiter it is possible to see the Republic of Ireland on a clear day.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I was never sure if Ireland was visible from the top of the tower, but I suppose with perfect visibility and other conditions, it may be possible to see the tops of the Mourne Mountains. I saw a post on a website where someone took a picture from Winter Hill, and they captured the Isle of Man, but possibly Ireland as well.

[@neilhilton35]

I never knew that about views from Rivington. Amazing!

[@mandycoulbeck8692]

excellent video stephen

[@jamesdurber88]

some top class images keep up the good work!

[@gcljohn]

All true. I have stood on the South Shore near the Pleasure Beach and seen the outline of Snaefell on the Isle of Man as well. Incredible.
